Default crank no start

crank no start on my c5. i’m a semi beginner working on these. i bought this car on fb, with bad heads. so i towed it home, put some stock heads on it, called it a day. when i am now putting it back together i’m having a crank no start. i’ll attach some images. i just put in a new ignition ($80 and free returns) but i’m still having this issue.




found this plugged in between the plugs shown.

dash key on ignition on

Make sure the connectors for the coil packs and fuel injectors are all plugged in, did you attach the ground wires to the back of the heads?

thank you Martinez for the reply, yes all injectors are connected, coils are connected as well as main coil connector, both grounds are connected as well. Maybe important to note, i got the car already taken apart.

Check fuel pressure at fuel rails, check for spark, maybe get a scan tool, good luck with the project.

Check the Crank position sensor and its wiring. Was going through mine replacing things when it wouldn’t start. Replaced the Crank position sensor, went to plug the connector into the new sensor and the wiring crumbled in my hands. Replaced that pigtail and she fired right up.
